South Lake Tahoe is announcing a new route for the annual Fourth of July Parade.Â
A key change this year, closing Highway 50 along the parade route. Traffic will be detoured to Al Tahoe Boulevard, which served as the parade route in past years.Â
Highway 50 will be closed from 8:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. on July 4th between Al Tahoe Boulevard and Ski Run Boulevard.
The approved detour routes are:
- Eastbound traffic: Al Tahoe Boulevard to Pioneer Trail
- Westbound traffic: Pioneer Trail to Al Tahoe Boulevard
Organizers say the full highway closure is intended to create a safer environment for parade participants, event staff, volunteers, and community members attending the celebration.
